Q&A With Low Design Office
by Abigail Thomas
In May of this year, Low Design O昀케ce assembled
and presented a pavilion at the 18th International
Architecture Exhibition in Venice. DK OsseoAsare and Ryan Bollom, AIA, led their team in
the design-build process. Their work at the Venice
Architecture Biennale is the culmination of more
than a decade of community-based research into
modular bamboo construction systems. The pavilion
will be on display from May 20 to November 26 as part
of the Arsenale, curated by Lesley Lokko, who is also serving
as the curator for the entire Biennale this year. Writer Abigail
Thomas spoke with Osseo-Asare and Bollom about the experience
of designing for the Venice Biennale. The following transcript has
been edited for clarity and length.
